play00:35

itself juice World tragically passed

that he was a heavy drug user as drugs

were a frequent topic in his music his

use went all the way back to sixth grade

play00:49

which is when he first started drinking

play00:50

lean he cited the rapper Future as the

play00:54

you could argue that future played a

play00:56

part in his addiction it's not really

play00:57

fair to blame anyone but juice himself

play00:59

for problems but the people around him

play01:01

definitely didn't help his addiction the

play01:03

documentary that released after his

play01:05

passing showed juice constantly high and

play01:07

taking extreme amounts of drugs while

play01:09

the people around him enabled it his

play01:11

fiance Aliah was a user herself and

play01:13

Juice actually credited her as the one

play01:15

who taught him how to sniff if you want

play01:16

to get really technical you could blame

play01:18

whoever prescribed juice ADD medication

play01:21

in middle school as he's mentioned that

play01:22

the add treatment vians probably started

play01:25

his drug addiction thinking back it

play01:27

probably started with a VI now I'm

play01:29

standing actually C in my hand

play01:32

regardless Juice's overdose wasn't where

play01:34

his legacy would end he was a workaholic

play01:36

and left us with allegedly around 3,000

play01:39

unheard songs and these were completed

play01:41

songs too not half finish rough demos

play01:43

that artists typically have at the time

play01:45

of their death it seems like it would be

play01:46

hard to do wrong with that many songs in

play01:48

the label's hands but they still somehow

play01:50

found a way to mess things

play01:51

up the label juice world was signed to

play01:54

is grade A Productions a label in which

play01:56

he was the first artist to sign to grade

play01:58

a Productions was founded in 2017 by

play02:01

Chicago Rapper Lil BBY and his brother

play02:03

George known as G money the label was

play02:05

literally created to sign juice world as

play02:07

BBY and G money launched it after they

play02:09

discovered juon SoundCloud and loved his

play02:11

song lucid dreams his label being run by

play02:13

people who were completely new to

play02:15

running a label is a likely reason

play02:17

things didn't go as well as they could

play02:18

have after he passed to give credit

play02:20

where it's due Juice's first posist

play02:22

album legends never die was a wellp put

play02:24

together project that most people

play02:26

enjoyed but everything following its

play02:27

release was more of the opposite for his

play02:30

album release baby was hinting the title

play02:32

the party never ends and a trailer even

play02:34

released for this album in July 2021

play02:36

implying that it was going to drop soon

play02:38

this was not the case as the party never

play02:40

ends got pushed back after the

play02:42

announcement of juices into the abyss

play02:44

documentary the documentary was to have

play02:46

an album released alongside it to serve

play02:48

as its soundtrack titled fighting demons

play02:50

when this album dropped it was clear

play02:52

that it didn't meet the standard that

play02:54

Juice's other albums had set the song

play02:55

Choices weren't what fans wanted and

play02:57

were just a bunch of sad songs about

play02:59

depression and Drug dependency juice

play03:01

already had the reputation of being an

play03:03

emo rapper to the general public but

play03:05

this album just Amplified that by a

play03:06

thousand making many casual listeners

play03:08

believe that all he made was depressing

play03:10

music when that's far from the truth

play03:11

even in the documentary that the album

play03:13

was for juice was playing more upbeat

play03:15

songs of his that he said were for his

play03:17

next album called Outsiders when I tell

play03:19

you the name of my next album It's

play03:21

called Outsiders I'm going play you the

play03:23

intro to it just to give you kind of a

play03:25

feel of where I going you

play03:28

know

play03:31

[ __ ] off

play03:34

the hey this going on my next album bro

play03:37

this sh hard Ally even claimed to have

play03:39

the track list for The Outsiders album

play03:41

so it's a shame that Juice's label

play03:42

didn't just release the actual last

play03:44

project juice was working on and wanted

play03:46

to put out things somehow only seem to

play03:48

get worse after the disappointing

play03:49

release of fighting demons the party

play03:51

never ends album continued to be teased

play03:53

just to be delayed over and over and

play03:56

over and over again BBY literally became

play03:58

a meme for always saying that the album

play04:00

was coming soon when in reality it was

play04:02

not he's blamed leakers and hackers for

play04:04

being the reason the party never ends

play04:06

hasn't come out but a lot of the songs

play04:08

fans want the most are songs that

play04:09

already leaked so including leaks on the

play04:11

album seems like a much better solution

play04:13

than just waiting for years as that's

play04:15

done nothing but caused the album's hype

play04:16

to completely die down from where it was

play04:19

Juice's music was being leaked like

play04:20

crazy for a while after he passed

play04:22

against his wishes as they cared more

about money than Juice's Legacy at one

play06:13

point in 2022 a song with juice and XXX

Tason that their teams had been teasing

play06:18

was leaked directly causing the song's

play06:20

cancellation you can blame leakers for

play06:24

blame BBY for being stubborn with

play06:25

releasing leaked music and you can even

play06:27

blame the fans for paying to hear

play06:29

unreleased songs rather than waiting for

play06:30

them to come out but all Juice's label

play06:32

has been doing is dropping like one song

play06:34

of his every few months usually just

play06:36

being another sad song no one asked for

play06:38

it was even revealed in February 2023

play06:41

that a majority stake in Juice world's

play06:43

rights and income streams were quietly

play06:44

sold to Opus music group in early 2022

play06:47

in a ninef figure deal whether it be due

play06:49

to Greed ignorance or inexperience

play06:52

juices label somehow failed to

play06:54

positively build upon his legacy even

play06:56

with juice leaving behind a blueprint

play06:58

and thousands of songs another person

play07:00

who failed to positively build upon

play07:02

Juice's Legacy is his own fiance Ali

play07:05

who's done nothing but tarnish His Image

play07:07

since he passed away all while Juice's

play07:10

label was hurting his Public Image the

play07:12

former love of his life alii was only

play07:15

making him look that much worse at first

play07:17

it seemed like she truly wanted to

play07:18

uphold juice world's Legacy

play07:20

acknowledging that she herself was

play07:21

attached to it I'm trying to uphold a

play07:24

legacy my name is attached to I would

play07:28

never be on here

play07:30

acting like that or posting only fans or

play07:34

doing anything like but still trying to

play07:37

acknowledge Jared's Legacy and be part

play07:39

of that but everything seemed to change

play07:41

in 2022 after she met someone named

play07:43

Carter Jameson Carter is a social media

play07:45

marketer with scamming allegations who

play07:48

was 18 at the time of meeting Ally he

play07:50

initially linked up with her to promote

play07:52

giveaways but he eventually ended up

play07:53

managing and dating her as well allly

play07:55

moving on wasn't what people had an

play07:57

issue with though the first big thing

play07:58

people took offense to to was her

play08:00

seemingly giving away gifts juice World

play08:02

gave to her to her new boyfriend Carter

play08:04

was seen flexing a watch juice had given

play08:06

Ally while playing his song Burn and he

play08:08

was also spotted in clothes juiceworld

play08:10

had worn as well as with the custom bag

play08:12

juice had made for Ally Carter even

play08:13

bragged about being inside juice world's

play08:15

home the same time period all of this

play08:17

occurred is also when Ally created an

play08:19

only fans which she previously stated

play08:21

she would never do because she was

play08:22

trying to uphold juice world's Legacy

play08:24

people would have likely been able to

play08:26

look past her o if she had just kept it

play08:28

all about herself like she claimed but

play08:30

unfortunately that was not the case she

play08:32

eventually went on to post to her of

play08:34

about releasing her tape with juice

play08:36

world because hackers were apparently

play08:37

threatening her to leak it she also used

play08:39

it to sell a bunch of Juice's old

play08:41

clothes and apparently some nasty [ __ ]

play08:43

like his dreads teeth and a vile of his

play08:46

juice she claims she needed the money

play08:49

for her boyfriend's bail and that's

play08:50

something I haven't even brought up yet

play08:52

allly and Carter both got arrested for

play08:54

shoplifting and meth possession in 2023

play08:57

yeah I'm not too sure Ali really cares

play08:59

about upholding Juice's Legacy this

play09:01

video of her that leaked making fun of

play09:03

juice and his music before they were

play09:04

together might have revealed her true

play09:06

colors from the

play09:09

beginning and this is why I can't listen
